Mormon 8:5

Behold, my father hath made this record,

and he hath written the intent thereof.

And behold, I would write it also

if I had room upon the plates,

but I have not;

and ore I have none,

for I am alone.

My father hath been slain in battle,

and all my kinsfolk,

and I have not friends nor whither to go;

and how long the Lord will suffer that I may live I know not.

Mormon 8:9

And now, behold, I say no more concerning them,

for there are none save it be the Lamanites and robbers

that do exist upon the face of the land.

Mormon 8:14

And I am the same who hideth up this record unto the Lord;

the plates thereof are of no worth,

because of the commandment of the Lord.

for he truly saith that no one shall have them to get gain;

but the record thereof is of great worth;

and whoso shall bring it to light,

him will the Lord bless.

Mormon 8:15

for none can have power to bring it to light

save it be given him of God;

for God wills that it shall be done with an eye single to his glory,

or the welfare of the ancient and long dispersed covenant people of the Lord.

Mormon 8:16

And blessed be he that shall bring this thing to light;

for it shall be brought out of darkness unto light,

according to the word of God;

yea, it shall be brought out of the earth,

and it shall shine forth out of darkness,

and come unto the knowledge of the people;

and it shall be done by the power of God.

Mormon 8:19

for behold, the same that judgeth rashly shall be judged rashly again;

for according to his works shall his wages be;

therefore, he that smiteth shall be smitten again, of the Lord.

Mormon 8:20

Behold what the scripture says —

man shall not smite, neither shall he judge;

for judgment is mine, saith the Lord,

and vengeance is mine also, and I will repay.

Mormon 8:22

for the eternal purposes of the Lord shall roll on,

until all his promises shall be fulfilled.

Mormon 8:24

And he knoweth their prayers,

that they were in behalf of their brethren.

And he knoweth their faith,

for in his name could they remove mountains;

and in his name could they cause the earth to shake;

and by the power of his word did they cause prisons to tumble to the earth;

yea, even the fiery furnace could not harm them,

neither wild beasts nor poisonous serpents,

because of the power of his word.

Mormon 8:26

And no one need say

they shall not come,

for they surely shall,

for the Lord hath spoken it;

for out of the earth shall they come, by the hand of the Lord,

and none can stay it;

and it shall come in a day

when it shall be said that miracles are done away;

and it shall come even as if one should speak from the dead.

Mormon 8:31

Yea, it shall come in a day

when there shall be great pollutions upon the face of the earth;

there shall be murders, and robbing, and lying, and deceivings, and whoredoms,

and all manner of abominations;

when there shall be many who will say,

Do this, or do that, and it mattereth not,

for the Lord will uphold such at the last day.

But wo unto such, for they are in the gall of bitterness

and in the bonds of iniquity.

Mormon 8:32

Yea, it shall come in a day

when there shall be churches built up that shall say:

Come unto me, and for your money you shall be forgiven of your sins.

Mormon 8:33

O ye wicked and perverse and stiffnecked people,

why have ye built up churches unto yourselves to get gain?

Why have ye transfigured the holy word of God,

that ye might bring damnation upon your souls?

Behold, look ye unto the revelations of God;

for behold, the time cometh at that day

when all these things must be fulfilled.

Mormon 8:37

for behold, ye do love money, and your substance, and your fine apparel,

and the adorning of your churches,

more than ye love the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted.

Mormon 8:38

O ye pollutions, ye hypocrites,

ye teachers, who sell yourselves for that which will canker,

why have ye polluted the holy church of God?

Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ?

Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness

than that misery which never dies —

because of the praise of the world?

Mormon 8:40

Yea, why do ye build up your secret abominations to get gain,

and cause that widows should mourn before the Lord,

and also orphans to mourn before the Lord,

and also the blood of their fathers and their husbands

to cry unto the Lord from the ground, for vengeance upon your heads?

Mormon 8:41

Behold, the sword of vengeance hangeth over you;

and the time soon cometh that he avengeth the blood of the saints upon you,

for he will not suffer their cries any longer.

and in him there is no variableness neither shadow of changing?

for behold, thus said Jesus Christ, the Son of God,

unto his disciples who should tarry,

yea, and also to all his disciples,

in the hearing of the multitude:

Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature;

Mormon 9:26

And now, behold, who can stand against the works of the Lord?

Who can deny his sayings?

Who will rise up against the almighty power of the Lord?

Who will despise the works of the Lord?

Who will despise the children of Christ?

Behold, all ye who are despisers of the works of the Lord,

for ye shall wonder and perish.

Mormon 9:27

O then despise not, and wonder not,

but hearken unto the words of the Lord,

and ask the Father in the name of Jesus

for what things soever ye shall stand in need.

Doubt not, but be believing,

and begin as in times of old,

and come unto the Lord with all your heart,

and work out your own salvation with fear and trembling before him.

Mormon 9:30

Behold, I speak unto you as though I spake from the dead;

for I know that ye shall have my words.

Mormon 9:34

But the Lord knoweth the things which we have written,

and also that none other people knoweth our language;

and because that none other people knoweth our language,

therefore he hath prepared means for the interpretation thereof.
